Residential Treatment in Fresno County
Our Auberry program serves adolescent boys who require a higher level of care than outpatient services can provide, offering 24/7 clinical support in a calm, home-like setting. The Auberry campus is set apart from urban noise and daily distractions, allowing boys to focus on healing in an environment that feels steady and grounded. Outdoor movement, natural surroundings, and a predictable daily rhythm help support emotional regulation and reduce overstimulation. This quieter setting allows clinical work to unfold with greater focus and depth.
Care is trauma-informed, individualized, and designed to help teens stabilize, build skills, and return home with greater capacity for long-term progress.
Most teens stay at Muir Wood for 45–60 days, with some benefiting from up to 90 days of treatment. Care is delivered by a multidisciplinary team of highly credentialed clinicians. Programs are gender-separate to support safety and focus, while care remains individualized, inclusive, and affirming of each teen’s identity.
Throughout treatment, teens remain actively connected to their families through structured family therapy, while parents and caregivers receive coaching, support, and ongoing collaboration with the care team—supporting continuity beyond discharge.
That work is reinforced by a daily rhythm of care shaped by the Auberry campus’s quiet, nature-forward setting. Set in serene, nature-rich surroundings in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, teens spend their days engaged in therapy, academics, and structured outdoor activities that support regulation, resilience, and self-awareness.
Evenings take place in home-like residences that allow space to decompress, reflect, and connect—so daily life itself becomes part of the therapeutic process.
This program was really wonderful for our daughter and our family as a whole. We love the parent classes and the parent support group.

Auberry Campus at a Glance
Located in Fresno County, our Auberry campus is intentionally designed to support the clinical work of healing and stabilization. Situated in a quiet mountain community near Clovis, the campus is surrounded by trees, open land, and expansive views that create a sense of calm and containment. The slower pace and natural setting help adolescent boys step away from constant stimulation and reconnect with their bodies, emotions, and sense of self.
The setting is an active part of our clinical philosophy. Natural surroundings, daily outdoor movement, and thoughtfully designed spaces support emotional regulation and focus—helping teens settle more quickly into treatment and engage more fully in therapeutic work. This balance of structure and openness helps teens settle into treatment, engage more deeply in therapeutic work, and build momentum toward lasting change.

A Day in the Life at the Auberry Campus
Each day at the Auberry campus follows a structured, supportive rhythm designed to help teen boys feel grounded, engaged, and safe while building skills for long-term well-being.
Mornings begin with predictable routines that support regulation and focus, followed by academic programming and therapeutic check-ins to help teens start the day feeling supported and prepared.
Throughout the day, teens participate in a blend of individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy, supported by experiential approaches such as art and music therapy. These sessions help boys build insight, strengthen communication, and practice coping skills in a peer-supported environment.
Movement and outdoor activities are integrated into the daily schedule, including yoga, swimming, hiking, and gym-based fitness. These structured activities support emotional regulation, confidence, and healthy routines.
Afternoons and evenings may include therapeutic outings—such as ropes courses and seasonal activities—where teens apply skills like teamwork, problem-solving, and resilience in real-world settings. Evenings are intentionally slower-paced, allowing time to decompress, reflect, and connect in a calm, home-like environment before rest.
This consistent daily structure helps teens practice new skills in real time while feeling supported every step of the way.
Benefits of Teen Residential Treatment
Residential treatment offers teens a level of care that extends beyond weekly therapy, providing consistent structure, clinical oversight, and emotional support during a critical period of healing. In a residential setting, teens are removed from daily stressors and patterns that may be reinforcing symptoms, allowing space for meaningful change.
At Muir Wood Teen, residential care helps adolescents stabilize emotionally, develop healthier coping skills, and rebuild trust in themselves and others. With 24/7 support, individualized therapy, academic continuity, and a therapeutic peer community, teens are able to practice new skills in real time while receiving guidance every step of the way.
For families, residential treatment offers clarity and relief. Knowing their teen is supported in a safe, structured environment while long-term wellness is thoughtfully addressed.
